The house was perfect for our annual ladies' retreat! We loved the all the rooms and the view. The only issues we had were one garage door wouldn't open and some of the bed sheets hadn't been changed, but Boyd took care of the issue quickly by sending a maintenance person and housekeeping over ASAP.

The house is very comfortable, and we loved that every bedroom had its own private bathroom. Boyd was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We loved staying here for the holidays.

Rare to have an experience where there isn’t a lot of complaints and with the large group we had, everyone was impressed and pleased. Some wanted to stay longer. After the second night the consensus was we book this site again moving forward. Thank you for a wonderful experience in our first destination holiday.
